Toying around a concept. Inputs are welcome on whether to use lead screw or belt drive. My lead screw will be single start 500 mm lenght, 2 mm pitch and 2 mm lead. Nema 17 motors will be used. All veterans, suggestions please.

    Why would you even think of using a lead screw for X & Y axes? What problem do you think you can solve by doing so? Same as, "Why not use hydraulics?" You could, but why would you?

    Thanks Keith, I am a CNC guy hence the first cut. Introspected......will go for belt drive.....probably CoreXY but seems COREXY is not so popular from software setting point of view....Opinion ?

    ??? How do you do a COREXY ? That's a new one on me pal. Can't envision a remote drive for extruder that would beat a bowden tube.
